HEATER FOR CURLlNG-IRONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 670,930, dated April 2, 1901.

Application filed July 14, 1900.

To all whom, it natty concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. FISKE, a citizen of the United States, residing in Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Heaters for Curling-Irons, of which the following is a specification.

My object in this invention is to provide a construction of heater for the heating of curling-irons adapted to be attached to any ordinary gas-bracket.

The nature of the invention is fully disclosed in the following description and will be understood by such description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, and in Which'- D Figure I is an elevation of a burner having my heaterattached. Fig. II is a central longitudinal section of the heater. Fig. III is a section on line 3 3 of Fig. II, and Fig. IV is an end view. I

In said drawings, 5 representsa gas-bracket of any ordinary construction having a burner 6 and a globe 7, though the latter may be dis pensed with. This burner is controlled by a gas'cock Sin the usual manner. My heater consists in the main of the tube 10, let into the side of the burner, preferably at an incline, as shown. This tube receives gas from the burner and delivers it through jets or other openings 11, at which it burns and heats the rod 20 of the curling-iron. The lower end of the tube is closed by a cap 12, and between the openings 11 and the burner 6 is a valve 13, adapted to shut ofi the gas from the openings. At the lower end of the tube are also provided a pair of branching arms 14, preferably in one piece with the cap 12 and adapted to serve as a rest for the base or handle end of the curling-iron, supporting the same at the proper distance from the tube 10. The valve 13 is attached to or integral with a ring 15, which serves to support the tip end of the curler and also as a means of operating the valve. When the ring stands transversely of the tube, the valve is open, and when it is closed the ring stands parallel to the tube. The ring is also adapted to be grasped by the curling-iron, spreading the curler-rod 20 and the concave clamping mem- Serial No. 23,565. (No model.)

utilized as a means of turning the valve 13.

The valve is securely held in the tube 10 by means of a nut 16.

The inclined position of the heater is ad= vantageous, because it directs the heat-currents away from the handles 22 of the curler, so that the user is little liable to injury in the use of the implement and the temper of the spring 23 of the curler will be unaifected, and the ring which supports the upper end of the curler and to which the latter is clamped is also useful, because it separates the rod I and the concaved clamping member, so that the latter is less likely to become overheated.

Of course I do not wish to be limited to the exact construction shown in all its details except where such construction is specifically called for by the claims, nor do I Wish to be limited to a construction employing a complete ring 15, as obviously the curler could be made to take hold of any device having I a transverse member located similarly to the top portion of the ring.

The position of the valve is shown at all times by the position of its operating-ring.

I claim 1. The heater for curling-irons, consisting of a gas-tube adapted to be attached at one end to a gas-bracket and closed at its other end, and having openings for the gas through a part of its length, a valve located between I such openings and the bracket, and a movable rest for the curler operatively connected to the valve and adapted to transmit motion thereto, substantially as specified.

2. The heater for curling-irons, consisting of a gas-tube adapted to be attached at one end to a gas-bracket and closed at its other end, and having openings for the gas through a part of its length, a valve located between such openings and the bracket, an operating device for said valve serving also as a support for the tip of the curler, and a separate stationary rest for the base of the curler, substantially as specified.

IOO

3. The heater for curling-irons, consisting of a gas-tube adapted to be attached at one end to a gas-bracket and closed at its other end, and having openings for the gas through valve and also adapted to be grasped by the 15 iron, and a rest for the base of the iron, substantially as specified.

5. The heater for heating curling-irons, consisting of an inclined burner-tube 10, a valve in said tube, a support for the tip end 2o of the iron attached to and movable with the valve, and a stationary rest for. the base of the iron, substantially as specified.
